This is beginning to bother me...
Comments (82)Wrong, Paul. they absolutely, for sure, scientifically- exhibited, field-operation tested, LOVE moldy stuff. God, and myself, and millions...if not billions, of others know the truth. Now there's a "moderate" comment... So... If I understand the above assertion correct, the "truth" is that all I have to do is get something, anything on the planet regardless of its toxicity, to mold, and it is rendered the equivalent of "the little blue pill" for worms? While I am comfortable making fairly strong statements about the likelihood of something happening, I have long since learned the danger of asserting knowledge of absolute truth. The danger I am concerned with is not of being wrong when the inevitable more "truth" is revealed, but rather of misleading others before that "new" truth is discovered. Good thing the "truth" of this matter has been "scientifically exhibited" to "millions" and possibly "billions". I'll make an assumption of hyperbole for emphasis, there.

Comments (98)What is Trump's admiration for Putin all about? Who knows for sure, but it probably has to do with his business involvements with russian oligarchs. From WaPo: There is strong evidence that Trump’s businesses have received significant funding from Russian investors. Most notably, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. made that very claim at a real estate conference in New York in 2008, saying “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” Donald Trump Jr. added, “we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Trump also made millions when he agreed to bring the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013, a deal financed in part by the development company of a Russian billionaire Aras Agalarov. Agalarov is a Putin ally who is sometimes called the “Trump of Russia” because of his tendency to put his own name on his buildings. At the time, Trump mingled with the Russian business elite at a swanky after-party. “Almost all of the oligarchs were in the room,” Trump bragged on returning home. As a sign of the importance of Russian investors, partners of one of Trump’s projects then under construction in Panama visited Moscow to sell condos at the building in 2006. Trump also made significant money from one Russian oligarch in 2008, when he sold a mansion in Palm Beach for $95 million to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. Trump had bought the home at a bankruptcy auction less than four years earlier for $41.4 million....See MoreHelp me pick one? (Political yard sign)
Comments (77)Our neighborhood doesn't have many signs, but the ones that are up are for Hillary. Though our town is largely made up of Democrats, it is interesting to see that the few people on our block that had Romney signs four years ago do not have Trump signs this time around....See MoreThis is really bothering me.
Comments (49)Along the lines of what gyr_falcon posted about having problems with the process of euthanasia, my first experience with it was an absolutely terrible experience. This was at a high-tech vet with all the bells and whistles and I would have expected so much more from them.. They did not make my dog comfortable, nor did they sedate her- it seemed like they just needed to get the job done to clear up the room for the next patient. It was appalling, but I didn't know better. My vet now is great. I've sadly been through the process 2 more times since and have experienced unrushed, compassionate, and peaceful, though sad passings. Is it possible that your sister did not know what to expect? Or had heard horrible experiences and felt that her kitty's suffering was not as bad as what might happen at the vet? I'm inclined to think what someone else said, which is that your sister will probably never allow another kitty to suffer that way. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do in the moment. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to approach the next one after the terrible experience with the dog....See MorePKponder TX Z7B
